Along the way, he finds a Chaos Emerald and continues forward to locate the next one. During which, he meets his old rival, Sonic, who trusts him to help stop the evil aliens from wrecking the city. In the ruined city of Westopolis, Shadow gets caught in the crossfire between the soldiers of the Guardian Units of Nations (GUN) and the Black Arms. Believing that the Chaos Emeralds are the key to the truth about his past, Shadow sets off to find them, his frozen heart now beginning to move as a harsh adventure to uncover the mysteries of his identity begins. Not knowing what the leader was speaking of, Shadow demands answers, but the hologram ends and Doom's Eye retreats, with an sudden array of explosions keeping Shadow from pursuing.īewildered by what just happened, Shadow figures that if Black Doom truly knows who Shadow is, then he had no choice but to believe him. Black Doom cryptically informs Shadow that the "day of reckoning" is soon to come and instructs him to collect all seven Chaos Emeralds and bring them to him "as promised". One of the alien creatures, a squid-like cycloptic being called Doom's Eye, approaches the hedgehog and projects a hologram of the aliens' leader, Black Doom. Unconcerned about humanity's fate, Shadow turns to leave, but was stopped by a mysterious voice calling his name. From the center of these clouds, an alien race of black and red creatures known as the Black Arms rain down on the city, wreaking havoc on its populace. He continues to ask himself who he was, why he cannot remember anything, and who was Maria.Īs Shadow ponders, the sky is suddenly engulfed in dark clouds. Shadow pays it no mind as he struggles to recover all the pieces of his past with the only memory he has, which involve him and Maria Robotnik aboard the Space Colony ARK running for their lives until the girl was shot by a GUN Soldier in front of him, with Shadow calling out her name. A newspaper with the headline of celebrations taking place now that the Black Comet has come back after its fifty-year cycle blows by in the breeze, catching on the hedgehog's leg, then blowing off into the distance. On what seems to be another usual day, Shadow is standing on a hill near Westopolis, still puzzled about his past. As such, he would spend various days repeating the same questions: who he is and why he was created. However, his true identity is surrounded in mystery as there are no records of him at that time and he cannot remember his past. He is said to be the "Ultimate Life Form" that was created by top-secret military research fifty years ago. The story focuses on Shadow the Hedgehog, a black hedgehog that looks like Sonic. Spoiler warning: Plot, ending details or any kind of information follow. Despite the negative reviews, Shadow the Hedgehog was a commercial success, selling over two million copies. The level design received mixed reviews, but many praised the title's replay value. Also negatively received were the controls and the inclusion of weapons and vehicles, with many finding them redundant. The game was met with unfavorable reviews, with critics pointing at its sense of maturity for a Sonic game and some finding the plot ridiculous. Thanks to the game's nonlinear gameplay, the possible endings of the story range from Shadow helping the heroes defeat the aliens for good to him aiding Black Doom in his conquest of the planet. As he progresses in his adventure, the black hedgehog gradually learns more about his past while he encounters Sonic and his friends and many other factions combating the Black Arms' invasion. When Shadow encounters the aliens' leader, Black Doom, who tells him of a promise he had made him over fifty years ago, he sets out to find the seven Chaos Emeralds to discover the truth of his earlier life. Shadow the Hedgehog stars Sonic's eponymous rival in his quest to learn about his past while suffering from amnesia, while the earth is being invaded by an evil alien race known as the Black Arms. The title features a playstyle similar to that from Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2, with the reintroduction of third-person shooter elements from these games, as well as newly introduced nonlinear gameplay in which the player has to make certain decisions that affect the course of the story. It was released for the Nintendo GameCube, PlayStation 2 and Xbox consoles in late 2005.
